Was looking for comedy on Netflix, figured I'd give this a try. Loved it. I know it ran on regular broadcast NBC so doesn't have the perceived "gravitas" of a non-network show, but it's really well done, IMO. I don't literally LOL at much of what's on TV ("Kimmy" was only other show this year), but some great writing here and solid laughs in later episodes. And much like Kimmy, what makes the show work is that all the characters sincerely "sell" their characters by playing straight.
Won't give it away, but the plot device in final episode that allows the series to reboot for S2 is brilliant.
Any other fans?
